HAPPY 18TH BIRYHDAY DEAR YINGXU!!! =D
yayyyy..i finally met up with these wonderful people again after sooo long! =) though the meetings may be short, but its enough for me sustain the smile for a week. =) no matter what troubles i may be facing, the sight of them simply cheers me up. i'm so blessed to be part of the lives of these 5 amazing angels. 
may our friendship last. (:

the joys of voyeurism during droning math and aep lectures are unscrupulous, but satisfying (:
and its good to have someone who's as tired as you during lessons so you noe you wont be snoozing off alone.

eventful week with remnants of the j1 life we all so long to relive, plus jolts of reality such as the maths test i'm ever certain i'll not not fail. all in all, this week has been a good summary to the past and an affirmative comfirmation of the future - the people who are here to stay in my life and the people and things that i have to bid goodbye. j2 is supposedly not a year to be trifled with. already, i spot people mugging at the class benches in the wee hours of the early morning when the sun hasnt even made its first peek. it did strike me hard that i should be working hard this year, but in a moment of epiphany, i realised being hardworking doesn't mean shutting up your windows from the social entity. so i survived my second week of sch with something to look fwd to everyday. though still trying to get used to 'hols lag', the lethargy at the end of the long day makes me feel accomplished rather than grumpy. (:anyway, here's how my week went.
mon was the meeting of jnrs. 2 classes, 49 jnrs! surprise surprise!! =) though we didn't interact much with them during the snr meet jnr session, i'm glad we've got rather lively and enthusiastic jnrs.
and i was so happy we got to keep the oac bench!!! i guess the thought of camping at the oac bench every morning will become a long term anti-depressant for me everyday. haha. (:
tues was a draggy day, ending with the first aep lesson of the year. we got our cubicles and i got my window seat! with 2 new neighbours siewching and mingjie, i guess i'll have to start thinking and talking philosophically. haha. =/
wed was ruiyi's birthday. the first birthday of 06a13. and the first time our class showered so much love, in the form of cakes, on the birthday boy. all thx to our very competent ct rep - king lam! (: haha. 3 cakes on one birthday! how could we not utilise it? so we decided to offer ggb free facial mask, which we watched in anticipation while he unknowingly received his belated birthday surprise. (: we all enjoyed it.
the peace before the storm.
the smack.
the shockcca exhibition. overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response of j1s, just as they were with our fervent pleas and highly attention grabbing bright orange ezoac shirts. we gave out 180 OH forms (i think), and tmr we shall see the results of our hardwork.
we are one-of-a-kind ezoac.after tt we celebeated lujie and eric's birthday. one of the most elaborated one i've been to. haha and one of those that i laughed the most. they're blessed. haha.
thurs was the start of the rain marathon which lasted till today. though we were all freezing and praying for the sun to come out, it didn't dampen our spirit that much. in fact, it made the gathering even more heart-warming. aep organized a farewell for lyly. but i shan't call it a farewell coz we had more fun reiterating the times we spent together than getting ourselves upset over the times we're going to miss. it was one of the best aep lessons i've ever attended. and we had loads of fun doing home econs. baking fries, pizzas and burgers for our dear princess. for the aep pple, it might have been the first home econs lesson attended.
thurs marked the addition of a new class bench too (:fri was campfire night. with the rain heavier than ever, the fire burned weaker than ever in the hall. but with people higher than ever, the atmosphere was not in the least forgone. clad in secondary sch uniforms, we tried disguising ourselves as little j1s, squeezing into the crowd and self-entertained ourselves by trying to step on gaobing's white shoes. i looked arnd at my classmates as we sang those emotional chinese hc songs. i realised we don't have much time left together, and i'll probably have to start cherishing every single moment spent with them before it gets too late.
with the entrance of 49 new jnrs to share the class bench with us, comes de departure of one of the greatest person ever that has entered our lives and is just starting to get etched into our hearts - ly2
the news came as a shock to many of us. and it took me quite long before the fact that she's going to leave us finally sank in. maybe not until the sendoff at the airport this morning. the final hug, the sight of her walking through the departure gates, the last wave...its not like she'll be gone forever, but our hearts just felt heavy. tears welled up unknowingly. she's left far more impact in our lives than we've thought to be.
all the best lyly. we'll see you again, soon.
we'll all have to depart one day eventually, and i wonder how i'd feel when suddenly there's no one left around you.
back to my weekend.
sat was ubin recee. it was ok i guess. i'm glad nothing disastrous happened to me. except for that punctured tyre. it was quite fun getting back on bikes again. and to the island, my supposed second home. heh.

sunday was spent out with hc guanyue.
i admit i miss these pple. but coming home was still a comforting thought. not that i didn't enjoy being with them, but that insecure feeling of so many things undone just gets on my nerves. anyway, i think i've finally come to a decision. you can say its one of the quickest decision i've made so far, considering the gravity of this issue, at least to me. or u can say that i've taken 5 years before finally reaching a conclusion i had least expected. i think i won't regret my decision. now its abt breaking the news.
will this be the last time?

hm...the first day of school didn't exactly turn out the way i had expected it to. 4 yrs of sec sch and a yr in jc, i've nv been late for sch throughout the entire 5 years. yet on the first day of my last yr attending sch in uniform, i was greeted with warm welcomes of 'girl, you're late.'thanks.
i had even planned to go sch early today so tt i cld camp longer at the oac bench thats finally entirely ours. i even set my alarm 15 mins earlier. but one must understand that temptations are hard to resist, especially when you're still half-aslp amongst your fluffy pillows and bolsters and blanket. haha. so i woke up 15 mins later than planned. still my usual time though. but how would someone who has forgotten that her brain still functions anticipate heavy traffic jam on the first day of school? yea...tts how i was late.
besides being late. i was morally and spiritually put down by my own lousy standards during pt and placard design. mabbe i really have high expectations of myself. but its not THAT high either. i'm really unfit. and i hate it. i can't stand running two rounds and feeling like i need a break. ahhhh. where's my stamina. maybe partly due to my neglection of my flute too. then when i think abt my flute, i can imagine myself picking it up again. i'll sound terrible horrible incorrigible! T_T
i felt so depressed today, like i took depressants. maybe its the lack of sleep. but that nv did post any problem. where did my confidence go? where did my courage to face failures vanish to? where did my determination to get back on track run to? i must stop that incessant nagging in my head soon before i start treating myself like a real loser. sigh. i'm not feeling well today.
fever from within.

looking back at 2006-
what an eventful year! from the time the clock struck 12 midnight a year ago, till the time we all cheered HAPPY 2007! my life has been like a roller coaster. one full of ups and downs, but more so exciting and worth the risk.
i've discovered so much about myself through the year, and while i'm solving mysteries about myself, i've been perpeptually posted with new uncertainties, which i'll be glad to uncover. sometimes its a lonely path i have to take on my own, but sometimes the path is brightly lit by the people whom i so greatly cherish. there are many people who cross the path in my life, but here are some very important people whom i'm immensely grateful to. for showing me the way, and never giving up on me. (:
my parents-
while we may be at loggerheads most of the time, i'm glad we always learn something from each other eventually. even though we may not have explicitly agreed on a peace treaty, i'm glad everything always turns out fine the nxt morning. this year has not only been a discovery of myself, but also a lot of my family. i start to understand many decisions they made and identify myself in them. thx for always being there for me! (:
my bro and sis-
i noe you're smiling coz i FINALLY posted this pic. haha. though you were in germany most of the time...i think we become closer coz of the long dist. chats and constant updates. thx for being there for me all this while and for sharing with me ur experience in jc and in oac. you're the best bro i cld ever ask for! don't worry abt ur wedding...you have a very capable sis here! (: see ya in 3 weeks time!
you may not read this. but i'm really really glad i've got such a wonderful sister who dotes on me. haha. thx for sharing ur joys and telling me ur worries. thx for understanding my whines and for alawys welcoming me in ur hse. (:
EZOAC-
through pain
through smiles
through the night
through the unknown
through fairytale
through the clouds
through rain
and shine
we've seen the sunrise
and the sunset
our journey will never end...
joining oac has been one of the best decisions i've made. i've done so many things i'd nv thought i'd LOVE doing so much. and its showed me that life is just more than one path. you may choose to take the shorter route to save time, or you may choose the longer route and experience more. you may make a mistake on a detour, but eventually you'll get back on track. becoz i have such wonderful batchmates who will never leave anyone behind. (:
there were many times when i scraped past the grasp of death. unnerving encounters. really. its not just the fact that i sprained my ankle or rolled down the slope which is unnerving, but the coincidental occurrance of all these in a year. i wonder why i became so accident prone. maybe its a sign. but what exactly, i do not know. and i hope there'll be no more signs for me to decode this year. haha. but anw, i'm really grateful that my batchmates are always there for me whenever i make such falls. i think i've put the first aiders to a test many times this yr. haha.
06a13-
i still remember the times we teared when we thought we were going to split. i remember the times we got together to come up with petitions and plans to burn the admin down. i remember the time screamed and nearly broke the glass in fishtank when mr quek announced the forging of our 06a13 forever. no more breakups. and i'm glad i got to this class, for they make the mundance jc life worth looking fwd to. haha. all the late night crapping at the class bench, the stoning, the nagging at me to eat!...i'll remember all that. 2 years won't be long, but we've been through so much in 1 year. i'm sure our friendships will be there to last.
i really miss those first 3 mths when going orchard everyday after sch was like a routine. haha. (:
but life was even better when the 2nd intakers brought more smiles to our alr happy class. i love my class girls! our sleepovers and RT!! (:
junhua loves 06a13 too! (:
JTF-
i believe this was our first pic together. the shopping clan! =)
tracee-- my dearest running partner! i rmb we were so crazy we ran EVERYDAY during breaks and any possible chance we cld. the class thought we were imba. hahahah. lol! and i rmb bringing each other on a sprint when we got our new shoes!! wooo- i miss those times. we shd run soon soon SOON!!!
fungg- my best going home partner! i love the talks on the bus and train rides home with you. even when we stone tgt sometimes, its great to know i'm not alone. haha. thank you for your presence all the time. (:
its amazing how the 3 of us clicked so well. thank fate we did...for my oac days and life in hc would have been so boring without u 2 arnd. (:
aresdramafeste chorale-
one unexpected experience. haha. who wld have dreamed of becoming a cheer leader in a play. i wldn't. but in reality, i did it. hahaha. all the late nights were worth it...trump!!! XD
hcco and my dear trio-
i feel guilty for my perpeptual absence. but i'm really really grateful for the warm welcome everytime i do make my presence. you guys nv blame me for not being there (at least not in my face..haha), not feed me with updates which make me feel so at home everytime i go back. thank you. oh..i'm happy i've got such wonderful SLs! it feels great having an SL to 'bully'! XD
caina n jaime. even though we've drifted apart this year. i noe we're still there for each other when we need it. we may not meet up as often, we may not whine to each other as often, we may not get hyper together like we used to... but i noe we've nv stop caring for each other. if not we wldn't have had so many talks over our distancing friendship. people change, things change...but you guys will always be my bestest trio!
my dizi and yin lao shi-
something i've finally admitted to not loving as much.
sorry lao shi for all the disappointments. i guess i'll have to end my journey this year. or rather, put a standstill to it for the time being. thank you for being the best dizi instructor i'll ever get. i've learnt so so much from you, not just the skills of blowing dizi, but life skills. thanx for so many wonderful stories. you're someone i respect, a lot. hope you won't stare at me not remembering who i am nxt time u see me. haha.
my beloved sec 2 buddies-

it was really fun going there with this crazy whacky group of people. all the poison ivys and alex stories through the wee hours of the night. i'll never forget them. =)
sch's starting tomorrow. and i guess the main concern for most pple now is homework. haha. so is mine! haven't finished most of it. but oh well. what do i fear, when my friends are here. hehe. we'll brave thru this tgt. (:
frankly speaking, i've not much expectations for this yr. i'll be taking a positive attitude..letting things come and go as they're meant to be. life would be so much easier this way. i remember i was still dreading sch a few days ago, hoping to stay longer in this dream. but after reviewing 2006, i've suddenly seen the light. and realised sch's not all abt stress. i've got the oac bench to look fwd to, seeing my classmates 5/7 days a week, new jnrs, many major events... LIFE WILL BE SO EXCITING!!! =)
yayy..so i say. take it easy man. =)
